| Jazz for aficionados I was referring to the Pepper +11; for the record. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Great record!Paul Desmond, who Bird considered one of his favorite alto players (now, THAT'S food for thought!) interviews Bird:http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T3W8Ff_4oFg | |
| Jazz for aficionados ****Keep the faith****Ah, but I wish we could all agree that many of the world's problems are rooted in the fact that many of the faithful feel that their faith is THE ONLY ONE.Cheers to you too. | |
| Jazz for aficionados The subject of stylistic influence in jazz is a fascinating one. As Orpheus10 points out, sometimes a player comes along that has such a profound influence that in spite of most jazz players' commitment to individuality and aversion to copy-catyin... | |
| Jazz for aficionados I know a great little coffee house in Kansas City that has live jazz, the real deal; we can pick you up there on our way back.http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kmr9SgTlbrw:-) :-) | |
| Jazz for aficionados This one's for you, Rock:http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IZy3rzNaflk:-) | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks, Orpheus10, and thanks for the great thread. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Charles1dad, and THAT is what it is all about. Well said! I would only add that complexity does not necessarily "better" make. There is great beauty in simplicity, subtlety and elegance:http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd3AD5484U4&feature=related | |

| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, Lee Konitz is one of the greatest of the West Coast players and an influence on Art Pepper and Paul Desmond. He is the alto player on the Birth Of The Cool sessions even though Sonny Stitt was the original choice and Evans decided that Sti... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus, two great choices. Loved the Jimmy Giuffre cut; hadn't heard that before. Players from that era were amazing musicians; they listened to and took in the influence of just about everything. On that cut can be heard shades of Copland's "Hoe... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Orpheus10, as you point out West Coast Jazz is difficult to define. But, it does have some general defining characteristics. It can be differentiated from East Coast Jazz and other styles by the fact that West Coast players tended to play with a "... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3 and Onhwy61, you are welcome. | |
| Cables more hype than value? Irv, ****As for the rest of your post, it is completely analogous to the discussion of spirituality when discussing evolution****We actually agree on something. But, the mistake that evolutionists make is believing that evolution precludes creatio... | |
| Cables more hype than value? ****Let us pray that 'early' shorter is not anything like 'current' shorter!****I thought you said (in a different thread) that you had some early Shorter? So, you should know the answer; even if I don't agree with your implication.****The mere mo... |
